"EXCEPTIONAL Experience working with Bormann Brothers! From my first phone call with Steve Bormann to my new roof being completed, gutters and gutter guards installed, the whole process was seamless. Steve listened to me, answered all my questions, understood the unique situation I was in with my roof and provided a fantastic solution that addressed my concerns, met my needs and gave me peace of mind; I was working with an experienced Contractor that understood construction/roofing and the whole insurance claim process. In addition, Steve, Nick and their crew are highly skilled and made some additional repairs while installing the new roof. A huge relief, I did not need to hire another contractor; they took care of it! The work was done exactly as explained and for the price quoted. Bormann Brothers exceeded my expectations, I would hire them again and highly recommend them!"
Bormann Brothers only uses one experienced crew. If you read our reviews they are all positive. If you hire us, you’re getting the same crew that did the work from the review.  You get the A-Team every time. You don’t have to worry about getting a C team like other bigger companies.
Nick and Steve Bormann started the company in 1997. They’re still at the job site every morning!

"Chase from Excel Renovation was great to work with regarding our residential garage roof leak. He was very personable and there was excellent/ professional communication in talking through the potential issue and then scheduling a time to meet. Chase ended up starting with a simpler repair approach first, re-fastening and re-sealing a roof flashing, which we agreed was the right thing to do for our type of roof leak (very small leak) and for this cold time of year (late Nov). He was very honest in what he thought was the likely issue and digging deeper right away in our case, instead of just resealing and testing first, may cause more harm than good. He would not take any money for the repair…I tried though. :-) He said to keep an eye on it during the upcoming rain and snow melt(s) and he could always dig deeper if needed in the spring, removing interior sheetrock and then applying water with a hose over suspected area on the roof. If you’re looking for an honest company that won’t steer you wrong, give these guys a call. I highly recommend this company and I would definitely work with them again!"

"This is the second time I had my roof done in the past twenty years; my first roofer retired so I needed to look for a new contractor.    I got estimates from a number of companies.  All American Exteriors wasn't the lowest bid but they were very close;  I chose the company based on the estimated cost, the number of positive reviews, the length of time they've been in business and their rating on the BBB site, and in the end, their proactive response and interactions with me during the bidding process.  
The company owner, Adrian, was the initial contact for the estimate.  He came to the house to look at the situation and ask/answer questions.  Adrian wasn't much of a "schmoozer/salesman" type, and certainly not aggressive in pushing me to commit to his company before I as ready to, which I appreciated.  He provided a quite thorough description of the work to be done, and provided a complete written estimate very quickly.  He was also very patient in addressing numerous questions about the available options for the roofing job, even while not pushing me to commit to his company right away. 
My house is relatively small, but I had a dire need to get the work done by a given deadline.  Adrian and the company office manager were very proactive in scheduling the job.  On the day that the job was scheduled, the crew showed up very early, ready to go.  Because I needed to get the job done ASAP, the owner/project manager was not there first thing (he was getting another job going too), but that didn't concern me because he was "squeezing my job in at a very busy time", and  since he was reachable by cell phone and was going to come to the job later in the morning.  
The only snafu in the job was with the boom truck delivering the shingles.  An issue with the driveway and the location of a neighbor's valued tree precluded letting the boom truck drive up on the driveway and load the shingles directly onto the roof.  
The roofing crew wasn't happy about having to carry bundles of shingles up to the roof, but I felt that it wasn't that big a problem (not that many bundles to carry up, a small one story ranch, and a very cool day).  While the roofing crew supervisor was very courteous in expressing the crew's displeasure in having to carry the materials up to the roof, I was a bit concerned that the crew might be less motivated to provide quality in their work - but that didn't hold to be true.  
Adrian came over to the job later in the morning, and again in the afternoon, to check in on how things were going & I assume to provide some direction to the crew.  Adrian and the office manager (Elizabeth) were very responsive in working with the city to get my inspection scheduled and completed.  The city said pictures would suffice but I insisted that the inspector come to my property and do a walk through on the roof itself - and that had to be coordinated with the roofing company because they had to provide the ladder to get up on the roof.  
The job was done in mid-July and as I write this a few months later, so far so good.  I was pleased with the whole process, the cost, the quality of the materials and the work done, and with the professionalism/response of the company owner, employees, and sub contracting crew.   If there's a place to nominate this company to the Angie's List "hall of fame" I will do so.

"Concerned about my aging roof, I wanted someone with more experience than I to take a look. Naturally everyone wants to sell you a new roof, but Keyth for Hoffman Weber gave me what I was looking - good advice. He checked the roof out and its starting to show it's age, but he saw nothing to indicate a new roof was necessary at the moment. Yes, he stressed, that could certainly change depending on circumstances, but I can put the job off for another 2, maybe 3 years while I'm saving up for the job. This is exactly the professional advice I needed and Hoffman Weber is definitely on my list for future work of any kind. Thanks Keyth!"

"Great! MN Window and Siding has done several projects over the last 10 years for us in our mid 50’s Rambler. They replaced our Sliding patio doors in the Family Room, Picture Window in the Living Room, and 2 other windows-one in the kitchen and another they enlarged the opening and installed a crank out in a bathroom remodel we had done last year. The vinyl windows/patio doors they use are from Alside and are excellent quality. After the hail storm here in Bloomington in 2013 they replaced our roof. We had many color choices to choose from and the roof was completed timely and was great quality. Jim worked with my insurance company and the project went smoothly."

"I called Mark and we scheduled an appointment.  He arrived on time and performed an inspection of our home and made recommendations on how to solve our ice dam problem.  He gave me an estimate and we agreed on a day & time the work would be performed.  He arrived on time and performed the work in a timely manner and we are very satisfied with the work they did.  They were very professional and everything went just as he said it would.  They cleaned up the entire area where any work was performed.  Since it is summer I won't know if the heat cables will solve my problem until winter but I'm confident it will based on Mark's recommendations.

"We called Cady Handyman Services and a pleasant gentleman discussed our deck project.
Cady Handyman scheduled one of his service tech to come out the follow morning.
The tech arrived promptly at the scheduled time with a friendly ready to fix our problem attitude.
We have raised nails and screws on our deck that always seem to reappear during winter months.
These raised nails and screws made snow removal just horrible.The Cady tech recommened that we remove many of the bad loose fastners and replaced with a new non-corosive styles of screws.
After a complete walk through of our project we were extremely satified.

With our project completed we are now looking forward to the winter to come.

With our total satisfaction with Cady Handyman Services we have again committed to them for our up coming basement project

FAQs for heating cable for roof installation projects in Clear Lake, MN

A typical heat cable uses 5 watts per foot, regardless of the outside temperature. So, if your cable is 100 feet long, it uses 500 watts per hour. Expect to pay an additional $40 to $200 or more per month on your electricity bill. Be sure to turn manual cables off in the summer when you don't need them.

To install heat tape on your roof, place it along the lower edge in a precise zig-zag pattern to maximize coverage and heat distribution. Professional installers secure the tape with specialized clips that attach firmly to your shingles. This method ensures even heat distribution to effectively melt ice and snow while maintaining your roof's integrity during severe winter conditions.

Choosing between heated gutters and roof heating cables usually comes down to budget, appearance, and performance. Heated gutters cost less to install and blend seamlessly with your home’s exterior, making them a discreet, lower-cost option for preventing ice dams. Roof heating cables deliver more customizable and powerful heat along roof edges to handle heavy snow and ice, but they require more material and labor, increasing your upfront investment. Evaluate your roof design, winter weather demands, and energy budget to select the system that works best for your property.

Roof heating cables prevent ice dams by melting snow and stopping ice buildup at the roof edge. Ice damming occurs when melting snow refreezes on a cold roof—often right above the gutter line—and blocks water from draining, which can force moisture under shingles into your home. Heating cables maintain a warm channel that clears ice dams as soon as they form and protects your roof from water damage and structural issues.

Roof heating cables last between two and ten years before replacement is needed, wearing out faster than your roof itself. Their lifespan depends on climate severity, cable type, and exposure to physical damage. Consistent inspections and preventative maintenance—such as clearing debris, tightening clips, and checking electrical connections—can extend their service life and ensure reliable snow and ice protection each winter.

To safely remove snow from your roof, start with a specially designed roof rake, standing firmly on the ground and pulling snow downhill rather than climbing onto the roof. You can also apply calcium chloride ice melt to break up stubborn ice or gently use a secured rope from a safe vantage point. 

Keep in mind that large snow slabs can weigh hundreds of pounds and pose a serious fall risk. If conditions are hazardous or you lack the right equipment, hire a professional to protect your safety and your roof’s integrity.
